Cardamom Ice Cream

Cardamom is one of my favourite flavours. I just love it. I have a big jar of cardamom pods that I use at every opportunity. I have no idea where I found this recipe but it is easy and even better, it is delicious! I used one of my candied violets as a garnish. The scent from these violets is amazing!

Whisk yolks and sugar until lemon coloured. Add vanilla and mix in. In a sauce pan scald the half and half and cardamom. Temper the egg yolks with this hot milk. Do this by adding a little at a time while whisking the egg yolks. Eventually you will have added all the milk. Cook this mixture in a double boiler until thickened. Cool, strain, churn.

Hi Sarah,thank you so much for visiting my cooking blog, now I can discover yours and happy to found out that you also have a beautiful and mouth watering recipes. I love cardamom, so I can imagine how delicious and fragrant this ice cream. It is nicely presented as well.Cheers,elra

I like to heat some of the milk in the microwave, add the yolks and heat just a touch, then stir in more milk before chilling the ice cream mix. I don't know what cardamom tastes like, but I do love some homemade ice cream!

By education, I am a home economist and by interest, I am an avid cook. I taught high school home ec for a little while, belonged to a dinner club for at least 17 years (same group!) and recently began teaching some cooking classes. I am a foodie at heart and always bring back a bag full of groceries from where I travel. It makes for an interesting pantry! All of the above happened while I lived in Calgary for 35 years. I spent 5 months housesitting in Tennessee and lapped up all the Southern cooking ideas.
Now I am back in Canada and bought a house in a little city on the Saskatchewan prairies.
